Production on"The Batman," the forthcoming film starring Robert Pattinson, has been halted after a member of the production tested positive for coronavirus, according to Warner Bros. Pictures.
"A member of 'The Batman' production has tested positive for Covid-19, and is isolating in accordance with established protocols. Filming is temporarily paused," a Warner Bros. Pictures Spokesperson said in a statement. The film, from director Matt Reeves, had been filming for several weeks when coronavirus shuttered television and film productions in March.Last month, Warner Bros. released the first two-minute teaser for the film during a virtual event.
The film's release date had been pushed back several months following coronavirus-related production delays. It is not known whether the current pause will further affect its release.
